BILL ARF! Tells a Grood Story o: Atlanta Co They say that Joe Wheeler forgot himself at Santiago when the Span iards fired their deadly volleys from the brush, and he spurred his steed forward and shouted. "Charge 'em boys! Charge the damn yankees; run 'ein out of the brush!-the damn Spaniards, I mean!" And now they tell it on General Lee that when his hand some blue uniform came and bis wife took it out of the case, be looked at it with solemn countenance and said : "Put it back, wife; let it stay there a while till I can get reconciled. I'm - afraid I might shoot at it all of a sud den." The boys in camp get up many a joke, and they go on the grand rounds, and tbat reminds me of Pat Doolan, a fresh Irishman, who was put on picket and ordered to let no man pass with out the password. When the officer came round to change the guard Pat challenged him with, "Halt, be Jesus, and give the password." "Officeron the grand rounds;" said the lieuten ant. "Grand rounds and be damned to yet" said Pat, "an' if ye don't come forward and 'Bull Bun' I'll be after shootin' into ye, Mr. Grand Rounds." The boys say that down at Camp Griffin, when a new recruit comes in, the devilish fellows take him off to drill bim. "Young man, you must remember the Maine, and also remem ber that you are a private. When you meet an' officer you must salute Mm and say, 'I am your dog, sir/ and the officer will wave his hand and smile and say, 'I know it.' and pass on." They haze the green ones as bad as college boys haze a verdant freshman. There is many a wag around the camp fires and they spice the weary boars with wit and wisdom. The average soldier bears no malice, not even toward the foe he has been sent to fight. Cervera and Hobson are the best of friends and if it is pos- '. Bible for us to like Cervera, it is pos sible that the people who placed bim in high command have some redeem ing virtues. To^our civil war the pri vates of both armies exchanged civili ties on the picket lines. Stonewall Jackson rebuked them and once when a picket brought him a New York pa per be refused it and said : "Take nothing from them, sir, and give them nothing but lead. They are our ene mies." But the common soldier has not considered the casus belli, the aggravation from a national stand point nor can be, like Cromwell or Stonewall Jackson, worship God by killing bis country's foes. A soldiers life is a good training school, and he soon loses some of his conceit and selfishness. When a boy who has been humored and petted at home becomes a schoolboy and has to rub against other boys, he soon learns to give and take and tote fair with his schoolmates. Just so these young soldier boys, when far away from father and mother, soon find them selves enduring a common hardship and in peril a common danger, and it softens their nature and takes away their vanity. They learn from one another, and like these commercial travelers, absorb knowledge by con tact. The best informed people I meet with are the veterans of the civil war. However dull and unedu . cated were the boys when they entered service in 1861, they were bright and genial when they came out. I'll ven ture that there was more good sense and more forbearance, more real re flective patriotism and less selfishness in the recent grand gathering of veter ans in Atlanta than in any body of men ever assembled In the United States.. These veterans all look alike to me. Hard service has hammer ed them down? like steel used to be hammered out of iron. Their faces, their hearts, their walk, their solidity, their considerate conservatism, all mark them as men who have been tried and refined in the crucible of war-the dross expelled and the pure gold left. But war is a bad thing-the worst thing in the world. A philosophic friend of mine says no and he argues that peiiodically nations must have war, pestilence or famine to purify them, to purge them* and to kill off the unproductive surplus and give quiet to the government. I don't be lieve that, but I am not going to argue about it. John Temple Graves and Simon Peter Richardson and Joe Ohl have written strong letters about war and how it ennobles a nation. These men are thinkers and make the best of a bad thing but still we can fall back and entrench upon the teachings of the Son of Man who said: "My king dom is peace." "Peace on earth and good will among men." Only a few months have passed, but there is; many a heart-broken mother now weeping for her soldier son whose shallow grave is in a foreign land. The tears of these mothers are worth a thousand victories. But these preachers per plex me. Most of them arc for the war to go on until we have taken all the islands of the sea and planted missionaries there. One of them S LETTER. ri G-en. Joe Wheeler. nst?ution. said, "my friend, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the vio lent take it by force," hut I never heard before that it meant guns and cannon and dynamite. I fear that tnV zeal of most of these preachers is inspired by their hatred of the Roman Catholic religion. I used to have a horror of that religion myself, for I had read Fox's book of martyrs and imagined the Spanish inquisition was about to be revived, but time and education have removed my prejudices and made me tolerant of all the churches. Observation and experi ence have taught me that there are good people in all the churches, both Jew and Gentile, and if I was far away from home and in distress a Sister of Charity would perhaps be my first visitor. They found my mother when her parents died of the fever in Char leston and they took the friendless or phan to their hearts and cared for her; and I have no patience with these preachers, so called, who slander them or their church. But my good old friend Simon Peter Richardson is nothing if not original. He is a strong man every way and our people here like him and love him for his honest sincerity. He preached here several years and is a man of convictions. He is rightly named and would have cat off the other ear of Malchus if he had been there. He belongs to the church militant and I would be willing to take his chances for the church triumphant. He was telling me once about a great revival he attended over on the Peedee River, and when I asked him how many con verts they took in he said: "Nary one, nary one, my friend; but we turned seventeen out and purged the church. The revival was altogether sanitary." We had a great treat at our town this morning. Colonel William J. Bryan with his Nebraska regiment stopped here for an hour and they electrified everybody with their pres ence. * It is by far the best regiment we have seen. The best looking, the best behaved and the best equipped and they love and idolize their colonel. They feel elevated and refined by his commanding presence and wouldent do anything that would mortify his pride or wound his feelings. What a grand and noble man he is. How ma jestic in person; how gentle in man ners; how inspiring in language and conversation. How our hearts did burn within us as he spoke. I tell you, my countrymen, 1 would trust him with all my interest in national affairs. He is Daniel Webster and Henry Clay combined. May the good Lord keep him and preserve him and return him safe to his family and to the nation. The silver question may pass away and be forgotten. The tariff may settle down, but other and greater issues will grow out of the war and the nation will need a Bryan at the helm of government. This is the way ? feel about it and I cannot help it. BILL ARP Paper Cannons. To add to the number of astonishing things that are made of paper, Krupp, the great German manufacturer of cannons, has lately completed a num ber of paper field-pieces for thc use of the German infantry. Their calibre is five centimetress, or a little less than two inches; and the pieces are so light that one soldier can easily carry one. But the resistance is greater than that of a field piece of steel of the same calibre. It is not to be expected that these paper guns will replace those of steel. They are intended for use in situations where the movement of field artillery would be impracticable. Paper artillery on the field of bat tle seems a most extraordinary thing, but it is hardly more so than paper wheels for freight cars on railways appeared when they were first intro duced-or, for that matter, than paper water-pails were. A Girl's Brother. Two girls were walking behind me and one said to thc other, after re counting a series of misdeeds commit ted by some dreadful boy : "Aren't brothers just horrid, and don't they do mean things?" "My brotner doesn't do mean things," said the other girl promptly enough. That was all I heard, but what a pleasant picture it gave me of a home where the brother never did mean things, and where the sister was loyal enough to defend him from unjust criticism. And what a happy mother there must be in that home where thc children love each other in their deeds. - Love is blind; but marriage is an eye-opener. The Chief Burgess of Milesburg, Pa , says DeWitt'H Little Karly Rteers are the beat pills he ever used in his family du ring forty years of housekeeping. They cure constipation, sick headache and stomach and liver troubles Small in size but great in results. Evans Phar macy. The Balance Sheet of War. With the fall of Santiago the third month of the Spanish-American war is brought to a close. Victory has been the reward of the best equipped battalions, if not always of the heavi est. Both Americans and Spaniards have shown that they can fight with conspicuous courage. Mere animal bravery, however, has been hopelessly beaten when it had to contend with courage reinforced by a thorough knowledge of the weapons which mod ern science has placed in the hands of Governments. The willingness of the Spanish soldier to die in the last ditch, and of the Spanish sailor to go down with his ship, has not prevented Spain being beaten at every point. Nor has it enabled her to inflict any considerable damage upon her enemy. This can be proved by placing side by side the losses suffered by the com batants in the first three months of the war: SPANISH LOSS. 21 war ships. 21 merchant vessels. 1,200 sailors killed. 1,300 sailors prisoners. Santiago and neighborhood. Fourth army corps (12,000 to 15,000 men.) Ladrone Islands. AMERICAN LOSS. 1 merchant vessel. Under 50 sailors killed and wounded. 300 soldiers killed. 1,500 soldiers wounded. Such comparisons as these must speedily convince even the most san guine of Spanish ministers that further fighting will only result in fresh dis asters for Spain, without inflicting serious injury upon the United States. -London News. Another Man. He was looking lank and lean ; he wore a threadbare suit of black and under one arm be carried a volume ; under the other there was an umbrella which had seen better days. He en tered so quietly that Dodson, who was busy at his desk, did not hear him. "I have here-" he began softly. Dodson wheeled in bis chair and took in the situation. "I don't care what you have !" he roared. "Don't you see that sign, 'Peddlers and Book Agents Not Wanted,' or are you blind?" "The life of Samson-" continued the agent, with an apologetic smile. ':Why didn't you say so before ?" said Dodson, subsiding. "In one volume, p.ice $1.50," con tinued the long, thin man in black., "I'll take it," said Dodson, shortly. "Good day, sir." A few minutes later a friend of Dod son's happened in and picked up the volume. "Hello, old man," said he, as he looked it over. "I didn't know you went in for Biblical subjects." "I don't see the joke," answered Dodson, testily. "I believe that in times like these every patriotic Amer ican citizen should familiarize himself with the lives of our prominent men who are at the front making history for this glorious country. We neglect these things too long. I propose to keep up with the times." "You will have to hurry if you do," answered his friend, dryly. "This particular Samson without the p has been dead for 3,000 years."-Detroit Free Press. -m m rn? - - A case in which a woman was tried by a woman jury was heard in Weiser, Idaho, few days ago. Mrs. George L. Smith had done some sew ing for Mrs. Abshire and was to re ceive some jars in payment. When she went for th ;m she was told they had been given away, whereupon she helped herself to some other property in lieu. Mrs. Abshire protosted and was slapped by Mrs. Smith, for which she had the latter arrested. It was determined that a woman jury should try the case, and the town became greatly excited over thc matter. Six of the foremost ladies were impanelled. After being out three hours, they re turned with a verdict of acquittal at 10 o'clock at night.-St. Louis (llohc Democrat. __ - Gov. Ellerbc received a letter from Lexington, informing him of the murder of Mrs. Lybrand. The crime i?. one of the blackest ever recorded in that county and is shrouded in mystery, and the citizens of Lexington request ed the Governor to offer a reward for the apprehension of the perpetrators of this foul deed. Details of the mur der are of the most meager sort, but it seems that the murdered woman's body was found in the road near her home, where she had been shot down. The Governor upon learning these facts, offered a reward of $150 for the appre hension and conviction of the guilty party or parties.

The separate coach bill, or as it is known in general parlance, the "Jim Crow car" act, passed at the last ses sion of thc legislature is to become effective on Sept. 1, and the railroads of the State are preparing and getting ready for it. While some of the roads may possibly kick and endeavor to do away with some of the provisions of the law, the Southern will not be among that number but will obey the act to the letter and will carry it out in every detail. This information came from Super intendent Welles yesterday, who said that thc Southern did not want the act passed and used its endeavors to show those in charge of the bill during the session of the legislature that it was useless and imposed extra hard ships upon the railroads, but since these efforts had failed and the bill became a law the Southern had grace fully acquiesced, and would certainly do no more fighting now. Mr. Welles told the State represen tative that for some time he had been haying a number of cars changed to suit the new conditions, and that on Sept. 1 white and colored passengers would be transported over the South ern as the law at that time would re quire. Tlie Young Man Who is Not Wanted. The one who gives more time to ornamenting the 'outside of his head' than improving the inside. The one who is "waiting for some thing to turn up." The one who knows more about base ball than he does about business. The one whose dancing is better than his penmanship. The one that smokes ten cents cigars while he wears clothes that are not paid for. The one who eats unearned bread from the table of a hard-working father and mother. The one who is polite to all ladies except his mother and sisters. The one who takes out his expenses by borrowing money from his friends. The one who makes it a point to be "up" in all the latest slang. The one who "knows it all" and re fuses to be instructed and is ashamed of honest work. These are a few of the chaps that are not wanted. There are others. Fired the First Shot of the War. Michael Mallia, gun-captain of thc United States steamship Nashville, has the honor of being the first to fire a gun in the war with Spain. The shot was delivered twenty miles south of Key West, April 22, and itresulted in the capture of the Buena Ventura, thc first prize of the war. [ Mallia is a round and jolly little 1 Irishman, thirty years old. He had ! served nine years with the United j States Navy and has been a gun-cap tain for seven years.
